  • I'm retired now, but I expect my pension and VA medical benefits to be gutted under Trump.

    There is a little more effort required to fuck with already granted compensation benefits than there is new claims. The medical care, and possibly the pension, may be easier to get rid of. Major budget cuts for the hospitals would be plenty enough to ruin all the past years of progress.

    Best bet is to make sure your dav/veteran group membership is up to date for the inevitable lawsuits, and for a good direct news sources on any changes that may be made. And also avoid making any compensation claims after any big law changes that make things worse.

  • GoComics has average quality at best. You gotta sail the seas if you want to find a good quality scan of the comics. You also have to be discerning about which seas you sail, because there's a bunch of them that are literally just rips from gocomics.

    Although, gocomics does have the only official version, so if you wanna support Watterson, you just have to suffer the quality they use.

  • Heavy is the head...
  • The difference is that you don't need them unless you have a bad joint.

  • Heavy is the head...
  • No. They're support, rather than protection. For people with messed up knees, it keeps the knee from wandering away under the skin, or the muscles from moving wrong. The muscles do all the work, the bands just keep everything in it's right place.

  • 'undiagnosed autism' and repressed sexuality are not an excuse for stabbing a guy 28 times in the face for attempting to kiss you after y'all met up on a dating app. Even if they were, it's really just even more reasons to keep you away from the public.

  • I've been running mint full time for a couple months now and it's been amazing how little i have actually had to do to get the games running.

  • I still miss the windows 7 glass look. That was peak desktop layout. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

    And then they threw all of that good design away for a relatively mid mobile showing.

    That didn't make it a bad OS though

    Interface design is an incredibly important part of software development. The users weren't wrong when they shunned windows 8, microsoft was wrong for shitting on 30 years of interface development.

  • I was reference self defense when talking about using a gun as a tool. As a hobby / range gun it is also fun, but arguing levels of fun is an excersize in futility.

    You can get a semi auto that fires 22lr, and that is cheap as hell, but it's not actually all that important, as compared to a semi auto for self defence.

    As far as I know, BLM land is just about the only option available to everyone for night shooting.

  • I've got a WWII Japanese bolt gun and the action on that thing is just so dang smooth. If the kick wasn't so bad and the rounds weren't so expensive I'd be taking it to the range a whole lot more than I currently do. I really should add a lever gun too.

  • *Works lever*
  • There is not much that can beat being able send thirty rounds downrange in 15 seconds. A semi-auto is a tool that does its job incredibly well.

    A lever gun will just do its job pretty well, but will also be a lot of fun.

  • Tired of bluetooth problems, should I get a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle?
  • Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn't cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

    Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

  • Tired of bluetooth problems, should I get a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle?
  • My wireless g304 has been rock solid for years now. The battery lasts about 48 hours of active use before needing to be recharged. My Logitech ergo lift mouse has been rock solid for the past year as well and it's still running on it's very first battery!

    I bought both for wrist pain reasons and for the most part they have also been very helpful for that too. Part of the reason I went wireless even for gaming is that the cable always dragged and caused issues with the mouse catching on occassion. It's very worth whatever "instability" you might see for any product that moves.

    My wireless earbuds have been rock solid for several years as well. As far as I'm concerned, wireless has been a solved problem for a little while now, similar to printers. There's no point in needing a battery for something that doesn't move, like a keyboard, but damn if it isn't really nice for something that does.

  • If someone doesn't wear a seatbelt and kills another person as a result who is wearing a seatbelt could that person face a manslaughter charge?
  • That's on the driver. If you're driving, you are responsible for everyone in the car and out of it. If you drove off with someone unbuckled, that's on you.
